Gone Fishing
When the world as he knew it falls apart, Marc finds a new calling.
1/5

Solution

Marc loses his job, his fiancée and his dog in one single week. Left with nothing to lose, he packs up his car, leaves Manhattan and drives to the boondocks where he grew up. He intends to live in the back of the dilapidated fishing shack his dad left him, go fishing every day, and not talk to anyone.

Of course, the small town has other plans for him. The quirky inhabitants soon have him opening the shack again, start an online platform to sell their local specialty "Crocodile Chew-Stew", improve the connectivity, safe the school from closing, and use his cold hard digital skills to make this town a better place - and his home.

Of course, he falls in love with the school teacher. And gets his dog back. And Crocodile Chew-Stew becomes the new rage among hipster Manhattan.

The End.

Please explain how your poster brings the idea of digital leadership to life?

Digital opportunities arise everywhere, and can vastly improve our everyday lives. Marc needed these skills that he acquired in the harsh cold Manhattan job to make his home in the boondocks.

"You can Tackle Anything" has a double meaning - you can achieve anything. And it is a fishing term. Maybe you truly can tackle anything - even swamp alligators.

For fun, you can print shirts or food cans with the "Crocodile Chew-Stew" and hand those out to employees.

Please provide a summary of your film script/storyboard:

What makes your film poster and script special?

It is a heartwarming story. And who can say no to Crocodile Chew-Stew? "From Our Swamp to Yours"

There are employees and employees, your story can even represent a DB Branch. Marc is one of the young prodegees in DB, he fastly rides the db oportunities stairs and ventures in a management job. But one day his falling starts and tumbles to the lowest level of all. That is when he decides to go home, in his home town where, people, need to go to the next town in order to deposit money or withdraw them. They donate a location to the hero and he does what he does best - Banking Chew Stew with a fresh slice of town remodeling.

This definitely has a strong story that has enough twists and turns that will keep the audience engaged. Whether it can be accomplished in a short film format I don't know but there's a lot of wonderful elements to play with here. I think one commentor said it already, but making him a DB employee would help bridge the gap between the narrative and how it relates directly to DB. Overall this story reminded me a bit of "Sweet Home Alabama" it terms of the setting and the heartwarming quality here. I think the tag line "you can tackle anything" is great, I think the title would do well to speak to "digital" in some way. Really hitting home this characters relationship to the digital revolution. Cool story overall.

Hi Crossthelime, I am not a big fan of fishing,maybe on the contrary, but your poster definitely caught my attention. The sepia profile, with an old look, in contrast with the lights and beams of digital, and then I read the title. "What has fishing to do with DB, or digital whatsoever?" I've asked myself, so I had to find out. You nicely adapted what I think it is a recurrent story in movies, the whole concept of going back home and solve something to be able to move forward, and I think Tiberiu's approach to the story would fit nicely to the brief. Nice work both on the script and the poster. Only one suggestion though, on the top part, more specifically the break between GONE and FISHING and how the silhouette is place.I think you could improve it there. Best of luck!
